Unreleased NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 10 GB GPU Surfaces: 7168 Cores and 21 Gbps GDDR6X Memory

NVIDIA’s unreleased GeForce RTX 4070 10 GB GPU has been spotted at the Chinese affiliate Goofish, featuring the AD104-275 chip.

NVIDIA’s Unreleased GeForce RTX 4070 GPU Features 10 GB VRAM, 21 Gbps G6X Dies, and AD104-275 GPU with 7168 Cores

Before the official release of NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 4070 GPU, several configurations of this gaming graphics card were speculated. One such configuration mentioned a 10 GB memory and the use of an AD104-275 GPU. It seems that this graphics card configuration has now surfaced, indicating that at one point, this setup was indeed planned and tested with board partners.

Spotted by @Harukaze5719 on Goofish, this specific NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card features the unreleased AD104-275 GPU die, which includes 7168 cores, 224 TMUs, and 80 ROPs. This core configuration matches the specs of the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER, released a year after the original variant. The clock speeds are listed at 2355 MHz base and 2520 MHz boost, which are significantly faster than the existing RTX 4070 and RTX 4070 SUPER cards on the market. The core count is also 22% higher than the original RTX 4070 graphics card.

In terms of memory configuration, the unreleased NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 GPU is reduced considerably, featuring only 10 GB VRAM across a 160-bit bus interface. The memory modules support 21 Gbps pin speeds, enabling up to 420.2 GB/s of bandwidth. However, this is lower compared to the 504.2 GB/s bandwidth and 12 GB VRAM offered by the retail RTX 4070 and RTX 4070 SUPER cards. The graphics card is based on the “95.04.2E.00.01” BIOS and has a Device ID of “10DE 2785 – 10DE 16F8”.

As for the PCB, it appears to be designed for the reference Founders Edition graphics card, featuring a similar design with a circular cut at the back. There are five GDDR6X memory dies, but there’s space for a total of eight memory dies. The GPU is labeled as the AD104-275-A1 die, and the card uses a single 16-pin power connector and a 10-phase power delivery system. It includes three DP and one HDMI output.

This further demonstrates that NVIDIA has multiple configurations pre-planned before the official launch. These configurations are evaluated, and the most practical ones are released.
